Hood hidges
Looks like it is time to replace my hood hodges. I have another used set that may be good. Not sure trying to find a way to test them without installing them. Anyone buy any new ones lately? wondering about the quality of the reproductions.

Re: Hood hidges
two 2"x4" One 2"x4" Cut 15" long in vise bolt down with two big washer two lag bolts 4" or bolts and nuts. Second 2"x4" cut to 5'-6' depending on roof high longer is easier, less force needed two large washer two bolts 3/8x5" two nuts. A hammer and old or cheap chisel 3" flat side down on the rivet head, other side on an anvil or 2"or 4" cut railroad tie work great as a makeshift anvil WAK head of the rivet few times to snug it as long as the holes is not too in lagered get a few years this.
